Features and Benefits

PES AsymmetricSPS is a family of single layer pharmaceutical grade, Polyethersulfone (PES) sterilizing filters. 

 

  • Delivers high flow across a wide pH range
  • Low binding characteristics (much lower than cellulose acetate and nylon) for filtering liquids with preservatives and proteins that can adsorb to media

Validation

SPS filters are validated using test procedures that comply with ASTM F 838-15(ae1) protocols for the determination of bacterial retention in filters used for liquid filtration. The challenge level is a minimum of 107 organisms per cm2 of filter media. CPF filters have > 7-log removal when challenged with the organisms listed below (0.03μm, 0.10μm and 0.22μm meet the FDA definition of sterilizing grade filters). Validation Guides are available upon request.

  • 0.03μm: Acholeplasma laidlawii 
  • 0.10μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.22μm: Brevundimonas diminuta
  • 0.45μm: Serratia marcescens
  • 0.65μm: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Quality Assurance

SPS filters are 100% integrity tested. CPF filters are developed and manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System and designed to be used in cGMP-compliant processes.
